Chapter 428 Ourcrowd
"Guggenheim and Goldman Sachs?"
Feeling strange, Roland cast a puzzled look at Ronald Perelman, the dead bald man.
Not only that, but he also asked puzzledly: "They are looking for ?"
"Yeah!" Facing Roland's inquiry, Ronald Perelman nodded seriously and said, "Actually, if you don't co to see today, I will ask you out in the near future, because I help The benefits they can get from passing the ssage are the sa as the benefits you can get from helping George and the others pass the ssage, but because you found first, you will feel that the matter of sending the ssage is very troubleso, but from my point of view Look, what you're taking on...should be a job? It's actually very easy."
The undisguised exchange of benefits made Roland frowned, and when he was shaking his feet and wondering which of the assets under his na could attract the attention of these giants, the fat man sitting opposite him , but waved his hand bluntly, "Okay~ Don't guess! I just said it~ If you do your friend a favor, you are doing yourself a favor! I didn't lie to you!
Guggenheim and Goldman Sachs ca to you mainly because your own developnt model is too similar to theirs!
Maybe the outside world doesn't know that after you retire... Oh! Shit! You are all retired and I haven't retired yet... Anyway, the public may not know how much your industry has, but we still know it very well.
And just because we know it, a lot of things we really... we're really surprised by...
For example, the transaction ten years ago.
When you bought a bunch of Marvel movie copyrights from , Jas told that this move cost you a lot of salary from "Ho Alone" and "Terminator 2". Judging by the market share of the film, no one would think that you made the right investnt, but in fact?
Your Warcraft Film and Television is already the production company with the highest return rate in Hollywood!
However, this is not the point.
The real focus is the three-one operating model.
The entire company has only one chairman, one president, and one financial departnt. This thod of operation directly turns film and television production into outsourcing investnt. All film and television projects with you are actually comrcial investnt projects in investnt banks!
Not to ntion, the principal of the investnt all cos from the public offering fund that Wells Fargo Bank helped you with!
The most eye-catching thing is that the start-up market in the public fund is obtained by pledging the shares of Berkshire Hathaway!
That is to say, every project invested by Warcraft Film and Television has actually achieved what those investnt banks most want to do in the field of comrcial investnt! That is to say, there is no capital trading. You don’t pay any principal, only fixed assets or bill assets with a certain value, and then get hot money through financing, and then invest it in projects you are optimistic about.
If it is not because you do not have a securities license, otherwise you will definitely package the projects in your hand into bonds after the investnt is successful, continue to raise funds in the market, and then use the money from the financing to build a fund, and then invest in new projects, not the sa as now In the sa way, Berkshire Hathaway's stock is constantly pledged, so that the company's developnt is restricted by the share of stock in hand. "
Speaking of this, Ronald Perelman, whose scalp can reflect light, suddenly stopped.
Because he found that Roland, who was sitting opposite him, had already laughed.
"Do you understand what I an?"
Roland's attitude made the bald man grin his mouth, and at the sa ti he said with a knowing smile: "Besides, your Overwatch Venture Capital and Blizzard Entertainnt are also points of attraction for them.
How did Google get more than 90% of the global search share?
How did Apple's iPod achieve a big sale through music copyright?
Now that Amazon has beco bigger, what is the purpose of your investnt in PayPal?
anwhile, why are you suddenly interested in ATi?
How did the four gas produced by Blizzard Entertainnt break through 10 million sales worldwide within two months?
We are all aware of these things.
Not to ntion, as investnt banks, don’t they know that the most difficult thing in venture capital is not actually discovering potential markets?
There are many potential markets!
But how to let the companies involved in the potential market form an industry monopoly?
This is the foundation of venture capital to obtain much higher than average profits!
Don’t talk about those venture capital firms! Even if you add up all the capital behind those venture capital companies! Bring in all the investnt banks who have passed venture funds and venture funds! It is impossible for them to make your rate of return within ten years!
You may not have counted all of this, but we have.
Counting the 1.5 billion you bought ATi directly, the total principal you spent is not more than 3 billion.
And what about the benefits?
Even if you subtract Yahoo, which has already been sold, it is more than 30 billion!
If you add Yahoo, it will be close to 50 billion!
Looks like a ten to fifteen tis return, but we all believe that…
In the future, you can earn more from them.
Because the economy will always recover, the Wal-Mart on the Internet will only be born in eBay and Amazon in the future!
And when Google finds a stable source of inco, its value will definitely not be the current valuation!
Plus your entertainnt company and ga company...
No one can resist the charm brought by monopoly!
Not to ntion, now you don't have to worry about soone ntioning antitrust, right?
When you decide to bring a ssage to George, the Elephant Party is destined not to turn against you, and now, as long as you can get the Donkey Party’s affairs through Goldman Sachs, how can they take their own money back?
Um? "
When Ronald Perelman raised his eyebrows at Roland and laid out everything openly and honestly in front of him, Roland actually knew very well why these guys wanted to find him, or—
In fact, many things can no longer be hidden.
In the past ten years, Roland has been hugging this guy's thigh or that guy's thigh, trying to cover up all his achievents as his own luck, trying to make the outside capital giants think that he is just big The servants of the gangsters, and the wealth in their hands, are all dry goods that the bosses look down on. It was only after so accidents that they achieved great success.
Before, everyone actually believed it.
Because Roland is really not doing human affairs.
The biggest source of one's own wealth is only Berkshire Hathaway's stock, and everything else is a bubble.
But with the rise of the Internet, everyone has also sensed the anomaly.
Although standing on the cusp of the tis, a pig can fly!
but…
Roland's special is not called flying at all!
The explosion of an industry can be called flying!
The explosion of two industries can also be called flying!
But what about three four five six?
You're ascending faster than a cannon can launch a man into the sun!
If this is still called flying, aren’t the guys flying behind you all pigs?
Of course, if it's just these, then forget it.
After all, it’s sothing that’s right for an entire era, and it’s been done before.
But when Roland sold Yahoo, the Internet bubble was shattered, and a large number of people lost their fortunes. Only when he could find new growth points from other industries, the situation was really different...
Waiting for Sony's thunderstorm and Enron's explosion, Roland, who had made countless profits from it, made them even more aware of the danger!
Everyone can see that Roland is not an actor at all! Not to ntion the follower of so big boss! He who can use financial ans to achieve industrial expansion is a qualified capitalist! A series of operations by empty-handed white wolves is not an industry rule at all! He has been aiming at monopoly from the very beginning, and he is even sharper than those capital crocodiles who achieve expansion through robbery!
Because of the forr, it ans taking one step at a ti.
When the company grows bigger, think about how to monopolize the entire market through annexation.
And Roland...
He was crazy about acquisitions before the company was established.
Every deal seems silly, but by the ti the company starts to expand, no one else has a chance to compete!
Before the acquisition of ATi, no one could have imagined how much value this company could have.
But what about when Microsoft and Roland form an alliance?
The market value of ATi can be doubled just by the order of Xbox and PS!
In this case, even if he continued to pretend, the guy who slled blood would not believe it.
As for what Guggenheim and Goldman Sachs, who discovered the anomaly, want to find him?
Just from the words of the dead bald man Ronald Perelman, we can get a glimpse of one or two.
After this guy wasted too much saliva on Warcraft Movies and TV, Roland already understood that these guys who wanted to enter Hollywood included him in the list of cooperation partners.
Just like what was said in the developnt history of Netflix, the capitalists on Wall Street didn’t want the public opinion to fall into his hands at all. In Roland’s previous life, they couldn’t find investnt targets and chose to do it themselves, but now...
Guys who understand entertainnt and can play finance are the first choice!
The developnt model of Warcraft Film and Television is typical of the major investnt banks on Wall Street!
The low-cost financing thod of cutting leeks is the best solution to stay on their PPT!
And since soone has made their ideal model, then...
Direct shareholding, isn't it over?
Yes!
After listening to Ronald Perelman's words, the first reaction in Roland's mind was the shares of Warcraft Film and Television!
"How much do they want?" After pondering for a while, Roland finally said, "Have they revealed this to you?"
"uh-huh?"
Ronald Perelman shrugged and said: "I'm not omnipotent, I only know that they are very interested in the developnt model of Warcraft Film and Television, and think that the philosophy you pursue is the root of their pursuit. As for other ...how do I know?
These things, you have to talk to them slowly. "
'Right. ’ Roland nodded.
Ronald Perelman is not a shareholder of Warcraft Film and Television, and it doesn't make any sense for those capitals to quote him.
But even so, before the negotiation took place, Roland still asked:
"Then do you think this deal is good for ?"
This question made Ronald Perelman laugh.
"From my point of view, this deal is of course beneficial to you.
There are countless entrepreneurs in this world, and almost all entrepreneurs hope to get a venture capital investnt when they develop their companies.
Of course, this is not the point.
The real focus is on the people who invest.
Entrepreneurs can find any guy on the street to solicit investnt, or they can go to those venture capital firms to solicit investnt. Although these two thods can make money, the value of money is different.
The money given to you by ordinary people is money, but the money given to you by Sequoia and KPCB is resources.
After getting the money from the forr, you still have to do it yourself, but after getting the money from the latter, there are countless people who can help you do it.
How to choose this kind of thing?
Everyone will choose the latter!
And if you are going up a level, when you raise funds, Goldman Sachs and Morgan want to rush in?
As long as people are not stupid, they will choose to embrace investnt banks!
Because after they join, your company is guaranteed to be listed.
Of course, for you, the resources of Sequoia and KPCB may not be important anymore, and the guarantee of listing by Goldman Sachs and Morgan is actually a dispensable promise, but what they can give you is actually far more than that. !
When you have them among the shareholders of your company, all the scrutiny is a joke.
And now, isn't this what you want? "
'Ouch! '
Roland smiled and shook his head when he heard the reasonable words of the dead bald head.
He understood what the other party ant.
Just like Roland would not privatize Apple even if he had money, never tried to turn Google into his own subsidiary, let alone create an Amazon by himself, the cake of monopoly is delicious, but it is not sothing that one person can eat worthy.
Because in the process of a company monopolizing the market, it will face various problems, and even if soone can solve them all, it will also cause other capitals to peek at them. When the interests in it continue to stimulate the nerves of those capitals At that ti, it beca inevitable to attack it in groups, because it is better to share it with everyone than to let one person swallow it alone.
In the forr, only one person is rich, in the latter, everyone eats at.
Because of this, the major shareholder is the limit of Roland's embezzlent, and letting other capital enter the market is actually the art of compromise.
And Gudheim and Goldman Sachs want to take a stake in Warcraft Film and Television?
All right…
This matter can only be discussed after he has thought it through.
"It seems that things are getting more and more complicated." Roland shrugged and complained, "I just want to make a TV series, but why did you let finish listening to shale oil? Let know that Gudheim and What about Goldman Sachs?"
"Isn't this a good thing?" Ronald Perelman felt normal, "You have to think about how many people outside this door want to be friends with them but are not qualified? After this step, The so-called wealth is no longer a threshold. What really stands in front of countless people is actually ambition...
A boss who doesn’t want to be a capital is not a good boss.
Capital that does not want to play a monopoly is not good capital.
A monopoly that does not pursue extre interests is actually doing charity. "
"Hahaha~" Roland was delighted to hear such words.
Although it sounds rough, it does make sense.
Why did Ti Warner suddenly announce that it would put a series of movies on HBO Max?
Isn't that just to catch the major production teams by surprise?
If everything is the sa as "Wonder Woman 1984", the actors, directors and producers will lose tens of millions...
Then Ti Warner should stop doing it, just close the doors!
Make a decision first, then stop the mouths of the loudest group of people at the mont, and then let others ask for an explanation by themselves.
Although this kind of behavior of pulling and stepping will waste a lot of ti, it can reduce countless costs.
Never underestimate the determination of capital to make money.
Because there are not many companies in the world that make gas without encryption like the Polish stupid donkey.
"Okay, okay, you arrange it, and I will et with them."
Roland doesn't want to get entangled in this issue anymore, because the situation is clear now.
While he was making a decision, another question ca to his mind, "Oh, by the way, can you tell what Gudheim and Goldman Sachs gave you to make you willing to co forward and help them contact ? ?”
When Roland confird that he wanted to et those guys, Ronald Perelman, a fat man who had never lost money in business, smiled very happily, so when he learned that Roland wanted to know what he could do in this deal. After getting sothing, he, who had no taboo at all, even said everything openly.
"What did they give ? They gave nothing."
"Ah? Then why did you help them?" Roland was startled. "Also, didn't you just say that the benefits you can get after helping them spread the word are the sa as the benefits I can get from shale oil?" ?”
"Oh, what are you talking about?" The bald head understood, and the explanation was very simple, "The reason they ca to is actually the sa reason why they chose to cooperate with you, and the sa reason why George asked you to send a ssage.
What is my identity?
What is Gudheim's identity?
What is the identity of Goldman Sachs?
What is Warren Buffett's identity?
What is the identity of your teacher Steven Spielberg?
I spread the word for my own people, do I still need to care about the temporary return?
You can’t do business with others on credit, but you can do business with yourself!
And if you are not one of your own, why are those guys who only have money in their eyes willing to sit down and talk to you?
If you are not one of your own, how could George be confident and bold to let you pass on a ssage?
Because he knows that if others spread the word, they will be beaten to death by us, and you...
Let's listen first, then talk! "
'oh…'
'Grass…'
When Ronald Perelman, the dead bald head, tapped his chest and silently compared 'Ourcrowd' to him with his mouth, Roland, who hadn't reacted all this ti, suddenly realized!
Why did this group of people co to him?
Isn't that covered by the Jewish identity?
Without this relationship, this group of guys would never have liked him, a guy who repeatedly jumped between two different camps!
Note: ①As I wrote before, it is a routine thod of Hollywood majors to obtain funds for a movie by ans of funds, and the upgrade thod is actually the sub-pri thod. After the film is approved for shooting, these Hollywood majors can Package the repaynt power of the entire movie into a bond, and then continue to sell it to consurs to obtain funds, and then engage in film and television fund financing to continue to invest in movies. Disney opens more than a dozen pitfalls a year because it doesn’t have to pay much, and this model is different from real estate. Since movies are sure to be released, there will definitely be inco, so there is no break in the capital chain. However, even if it loses money, it can also cause an investnt loss for the bond buyer. ②When I wrote Netflix before, I wrote that Telephone and Telegraph’s acquisition of Ti Warner was aid at streaming dia. No, Warner has announced that next year’s movies will be simultaneously launched on HBOMax, and it was pushed by Goldman Sachs and Guggenheim. Disney, which rged with Fox, also announced today that 35 of the 50 new works will be directly released on Disney . This may be a change in the dia industry, because the special effects that attracted people to the theater at the beginning have improved with the resolution of ho screens. And the speed of broadband, the influence has beco weaker and weaker.
